Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-based materials are regarded as one of the most potential photocatalysts for utilizing solar energy. In this work, we reported a facile one step in-situ hydrothermal-roasting method for preparing honeycomb-like g-C₃N₄/CeO₂ nanosheets with abundant oxygen vacancies (g-C₃N₄/CeO_2-x). The hydrothermal-roasting and incomplete-sealed state can (ⅰ) generate an in-situ reducing atmosphere (CO, N₂, NH₃) to tune the concentration of oxygen vacancies in CeO₂; (ⅱ) beneficial to prevent continuous growth of g-C₃N₄ and results in honeycomb-like g-C₃N₄/CeO_2-x hybrid nanosheets. What is more, the g-C₃N₄/CeO_2-x photocatalyst exhibited extended photoresponse range, increased specific surface area and obviously enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. As a proof-of-concept application, the optimized g-C₃N₄/CeO_2-x nanosheets could achieve 98% removal efficiency for Cr(Ⅵ) under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm) within 2.5 h, which is significantly better than those of pure g-C₃N₄ and CeO₂. This work provides a new idea for more rationally designing and constructing g-C₃N₄-based catalysts for efficient extended photochemical application.
